And Just Like That...tvscholar reacts (1.04)

My appropriately chaotic reactions to the fourth episode.

Realizing I had way more to say than could fit in an Instagram caption, I’ve collected my reactions to the third episode of SATC’s revival below. Note these are for paying subscribers only, so if you’re interested and haven’t already, consider upgrading to the paid edition of my newsletter to support my work and come on this season’s journey with me. Alright, let’s get into it. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

♡ Huh, a 38-minute episode? I guess we’re reverting (closer) to the half-hour format.

♡ “Alternative types” – Miranda’s talking about me.

♡ Still a bit unsettling seeing that fourth chair empty when the girls are out for a meal, right? My mind goes to: “are they going to wait for Samantha before ordering?”

♡ CAROLINE? Okay first of all, I’m pretty sure this bodega did not exist in the original series or the movies. Carrie exclusively got her cigarettes and magazines from one of those newspaper stands on the street. But most importantly…is Carrie a nickname for Caroline? Who is this bodega man, who does he think he is, and how does he know that? And why are they dropping this bomb on us in such a casual way? It happened so quickly it barely registered.
